GO CRAZY OVER SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Evangelism Team (The E-Team) has designated February as “Go Crazy Over Sunday School” month. Here are some suggestions for the remaining Sundays in February:
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Flooring system on Saturday, February 24
Bearden UMC has the opportunity to help Habitat for Humanity on Saturday, February 24 to build a floor system, i.e. setting floor trusses and laying the plywood sheets on top. This house will be part of a 7-house blitz in April and is part of Habitat’s new subdivision, October Woods, off of Rutledge Pike. We will work from 8 a.m. until afternoon (depending on how quickly the work goes). We need a group of about 15 workers as well as a committee of about 5 to prepare lunch. Please sign up on the sheet in the sanctuary on Sunday, January 28th. Materials for a flooring system cost between $2,000 and 2,500. Any donation to offset this cost would be a blessing.
Volunteers will be contacted later with directions to the site and suggested clothing and tools list. For more information, contact Leigh Cheek at 584-6018 or Cheeklc_2000@yahoo.com.

The IHN Opportunity Board is posted in the far left corner of the Atrium. Look for it against the wall. Notice that the board has a new name! It used to be called the Work Board. I think Opportunity Board is a better description. Working during BUMC's IHN host week is an opportunity to "hands on" show God's love to families without homes. There are opportunities to prepare a meal or apart of a meal; serve as Evening Host Serve as a family or individually; serve as on overnight host (comfortable cots! - ask Katy Jeffers, Dick Kelso, Stan Love, Elizabeth Peters, Terri McCracken, Nancy Mitchell, Brenda Tackett, Joe Thomas, Jim McPherson, Ken Pruitt, Dot & Hoyt Steed, Ken Bielak, Christy Hanna, David Broyles); Help children with their homework or play with the babies and toddlers; serve on the Set Up or Take Down team. We will be hosting the families on Saturday and need Saturday day hosts and a Breakfast Team. To serve, sign up on the IHN Opportunity Board or call/e-mail Charla Sherbakoff (450-5078 or charla@sherbhomes.com). To serve on a Food Team, call Nina McPherson at 691-0148. Sunday school classes, small groups, families, and individuals are encouraged to help with meals. Remember, don't let a good opportunity pass you by!
Need to get rid of the winter blues? Come join us in pick up basketball on Sunday Nights from 3:30 p.m. – 5 p.m. or for pick up volleyball on Monday Nights, 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
